The museum made history fun. Very interactive and allows children to touch and become interested. My daughter loved enlisting in WW1 and getting her picture taken.
Smaller than the museum of natural science across the street but also very interesting. Oh, and did I mention it's free?
Things that fit inside the new exhibit , its largest ever: Two full-size houses, authentic tobacco & textile mill façades, multiple tractors and a scale replica of the Wright brothers’ flying machine. Read more
Wonderful exhibits about our state and how our executive system works. Also, they have a fun christmas party for families!
So much fun! Very well laid out in different historical periods. Loved the sports hall of fame too!
Great free museum if you like American history. Close parking is available and the displays are interactive.
I'd recommend coming earlier in the day if you wish to view plenty of exhibits before they close.
Excellent display of history. Is free. You can take pictures.
An excellent history museum in Downtown Raleigh.

Loved visiting this beautiful exhibit!! - Stefani Giusto
Take the elevator downstairs. The image in the elevator is very cool, and the map just to the left when the door opens is Raleigh from the 40's. - Ashton Smith
Sorry, folks, the Man Cave upstairs is off limits. - Pat McCrony
Best place to live in Raleigh. Historic homes with plenty of hardwoods, high ceilings, big porches and great neighbors. All within a few blocks and a short walk or bike ride from downtown. - Crash Gregg
